Patrick Mahomes has received some heartbreaking personal news following his loss in the Super Bowl on Sunday.
The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback went into the game with a heavy heart as his grandfather was very ill.
His mother, Randi Mahomes, revealed this Friday that he has passed on.
“Hard to find the words of holding my father’s hand as he goes to Heaven. I know he’s in a better place. I love you daddy. Well done, good and faithful servant!” she wrote in an Instagram post.
Randi had previously revealed that her father, Randi Martin, had gone into hospice care ahead of Sunday’s big game.
She had been very open about her struggles with his sickness on social media, although she never disclosed what he was suffering from, having once revealed watching a Chiefs game at his bedside in hospital.
Randy was 78.
TPS would like to extend sympathies to Patrick Mahomes and his family following their heartbreaking loss.
